Remember - this is ONLY possible with a fiat, unbacked currency, and a central bank that controls the currency and manipulates the supply of money and interest rates.

Fix that - and you destroy the left and the progressive nanny state in one go

Among ‘working’ New Yorkers.

Lessee.....$15.00/hour minimum wage (for many of the ‘working’) PLUS subsidized housing, food and skrewel.

What’s not to love, in Amereeca?

Public assistance is one of the few growth industries in many parts of the U.S. That’s why grocery store chains are usually the strongest proponents of these programs.

Can’t wait to close my business and get on the dole. We have passed the point of no return and I want to recoup some of what I have paid in.

When the government goes bankrupt, people won’t remember how to feed themselves.

Isn’t it funny how liberal politicians announce more welfare as some sort of victory, instead of the tragedy that it is?

I guess feudal lords felt the same way about their serfs.

Hmmmmmm....

How many can they sign up before November for this Nutritional Assistance, and when they do, do they just so happen to sign them up to Vote in November? Trying to stop a Trump Victory in NY much?

How can a state raise the income limit for a federal program?

Why not make it 3000% of the ‘poverty level’ then?

From West Side Story

AMERICA

ROSALIA
Puerto Rico,
You lovely island . . .
Island of tropical breezes.
Always the pineapples growing,
Always the coffee blossoms blowing . . .

ANITA
Puerto Rico . . .
You ugly island . . .
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan.
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

OTHERS
I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Ev’rything free in America
For a small fee in America!

ROSALIA
I like the city of San Juan.

ANITA
I know a boat you can get on.

ROSALIA
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

ANITA
Hundreds of people in each room!

ALL
Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!

ROSALIA
I’ll drive a Buick through San Juan.

ANITA
If there’s a road you can drive on.

ROSALIA
I’ll give my cousins a free ride.

ANITA
How you get all of them inside?

ALL
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America;
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico’s in America!

ROSALIA
I’ll bring a T.V. to San Juan.

ANITA
If there a current to turn on!

ROSALIA
I’ll give them new washing machine.

ANITA
What have they got there to keep clean?

ALL
I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America,
Wall-to-wall floors in America!

ROSALIA
When I will go back to San Juan.

ANITA
When you will shut up and get gone?

ROSALIA
Everyone there will give big cheer!

ANITA
Everyone there will have moved here!

Haha…NY has a TV ad in Austin,TX inviting all the perverts to come to the enlightened state of NY, where they can be free to be sexually strange and get married. They should also mention the free food. By the way, we are totally in favor of the LBGTQPZ crowd packing their bags and heading east.
